If you are a Maven user, adding the AWS Mobile SDK for Android in your Android project is now as simple as adding few lines to your pom.xml. You no longer need to download the entire AWS Mobile SDK for Android zip file and include the JAR files in your project manually. You can specify the services you want to use in your app in your project’s pom.xml file, and Maven will handle the rest.

You can use Maven to include AWS Mobile SDK for Android version 2.1.3 and onward. Please see the AWS Mobile Blog for details.
